paragraph 1 is replaced by the following: ‘1. A fund to support investments proposed by the beneficiary Member States, including the financing of small-scale investment projects, to modernise energy systems and improve energy efficiency shall be established for the period from 2021 to 2030 (the “Modernisation Fund”). The Modernisation Fund shall be financed through the auctioning of allowances as set out in Article 10, for the beneficiary Member States set out therein. The investments supported shall be consistent with the aims of this Directive, as well as the objectives of the communication of the Commission of 11 December 2019 on “The European Green Deal” and Regulation (EU) 2021/1119 and the long-term objectives as expressed in the Paris Agreement. The beneficiary Member States may, where appropriate, use the resources of the Modernisation Fund to finance investments involving the adjacent Union border regions. No support from the Modernisation Fund shall be provided to energy generation facilities that use fossil fuels. However, revenue from allowances covered by a notification pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Article may be used for investments involving gaseous fossil fuels. Furthermore, revenue from allowances referred to in Article 10(1), third subparagraph, of this Directive may, where the activity qualifies as environmentally sustainable under Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council (*18) and is duly justified for reasons of ensuring energy security, be used for investments involving gaseous fossil fuels provided that, for energy generation, the allowances are auctioned before 31 December 2027 and, for investments involving downstream uses of gas, the allowances are auctioned before 31 December 2028. (*18) Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 (OJ L 198, 22.6.2020, p. 13).’;"
